Eco-Nyumpené

At Nyumpené we try everyday to make a little difference to the immediate as well as
the local environment.

We only use energy-saving LED lighting, and even some solar powered lanterns for the
garden.

Rechargable batteries are used for the candles and other small electrical items.

All of our water is drawn from our own well – 40m below ground! It’s cold, fresh and has
zero hint of chlorine or other chemicals in use today.

Our laundry bags are made of canvas – not plastic.

We have our own waste-disposal system which treats waste before it’s released into the
government drainage

We are growing our herbs and spices which you are free to help yourself to – we hope
you like chillies! It’s a constant work in progress though and we welcome green fingered
guests to potter around if you enjoy that!

We have also started to build our own compost bin for the garden cuttings and waste
from the kitchens. Please do contribute to this effort – it’s a nice thought that every
guest through Nyumpené has made a contribution to the ecology of our gardens.

And we listen. We would love to hear ideas from you as to how you think we could
make Nyumpené even greener.
